Hi,
I have a user defined data type which is called DEmployeeName,
it's length is varchar(20), how do i change it into varchar(30) without droping it?
I'm using SQL server 2005.
Thanks in advance..
Hi GuysWonder if you could help me.Basically I produce an accounts package that uses a SQL 2000 DB as theRDBMS. I always instruct users to login as 'sa' and the relevantpassword when doing an update to my program, as sometimes I need to dodatabase changes for new stuff.Found that one of my users has not only logged in with their loginname (in this case Edward), but have also made this login a 'db owner'so that when I created 2 new user-defined data types they belong toEdward rather than dbo.This must have happened a long time ago, but now that they want tomove Edward round the roles and/or delete him from a copy of thedatabase that they have, they can't because he's the owner of theseuser-defined types.This brings me to the reason for my post, how can I change the ownerfrom Edward to dbo for these data types? I found an article ontechnet of how to do this, but when it suggests changing myuser-defined type to standard format it doesn't seem to work.Any ideas?RgdsRobbie
View 1 Replies View Relatedwhat are the advantages of using user-defined data types in SQL Server?
for example,
you may have Customer Number Cust_Num varchar(10)
you can create a user-defined data type like this:
udt_CustNum
so now your table creation script for Custome table become:
Cust_Num udt_CustNum
however, once the user-defined data type is referred by other tables.
it cannot be changed/deleted.
So, i wonder what are the good reason of using udt instead of fundamental data types. (built-in datatypes)
the only good thing i think is about:
the abstract naming of the data type.
you may have other key fields like Supplier Number which is varchar(12)
instead of u have to remember varchar(10) for customer and varchar(12) for supplier
u just to remember udt_CustNum for customer and udt_SuppNum for supplier.
what do u think?
Hi,everyone.
I have defined a data type "OC_BUN_NAME" in database "CVPRO". I want to create a table tempdb.dbo.CVPRO in SQL SERVER 2005 system Database tempdb. But SQL SERVER 2005 DBMS gives a Error Messages:"Can not find the data type OC_BUN_NAME".
How can I do? How to use data types in the other database?
Please give me some advice. Thank you in advance.
Im trying to use a .NET IPAddress in my UDT. i create the assembly, but i get this error when i try to create the type in SQL Server:
Type "IPAddress.IPAddressUDTType" is marked for native serialization, but field "address" of type "IPAddress.IPAddressUDTType" is not valid for native serialization.
From what i understand about the IPAddress object in .NET it is serializable. what am i doing wrong
( note, im just doing this for research purposes and not planing to use the UDT)
Hi,
I created a user-defined datatype in Microsoft SQL server using the Enterprise Manager. But, I am not able to find options to edit this data type. There are options to delete but not for editing an existing user defined data type.
Can any one help me how to edit this user defined datatype ?
Also, are there any better ways to create and manage user defined data types in MS SQL ?
Thanks in advance ..

What is 'COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS'? I am new to
SQLServer, and couldn't find much information on the Web. Also,
I am trying to understand user defined data types. For example,
In the following example, what is '[Price_DT]' data type? and how would
it be referenced at the time of 'INSERT'.
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[Dist_Orders_Master_Index] (
[SubTotal] [Price_DT] NOT NULL ,
[Tax] [Price_DT] NOT NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
I have several stored procedures with parameters that are defined withuser defined data types. The time it takes to run the procedures cantake 10 - 50 seconds depending on the procedure.If I change the parameter data types to the actual data type such asvarchar(10), etc., the stored procedure takes less that a second toreturn records. The user defined types are mostly varchar, but someothers such as int. They are all input type parameters.Any ideas on why the stored procedure would run much faster if notusing user defined types?Using SQL Server 2000.Thanks,DW

Hello, I cannot find out to create enum data type in SQL Server 2005 Express. Can I easily create the enum type just like the MySQL does.(please the MySQL example below)

Hi,
I am using VS2005 C# + sql server 2005 Express edition.
I need to using a database that uses my own defined data types to define its tables columns.
I already have designed a Database projact and create the new UDT as follows:
Create a new Database project in the Visual C# language nodes.
Add a reference to the SQL Server 2005 database that will contain the UDT.
Add a User-Defined Type class.
Write code to implement the UDT.
Select Deploy from the Build menu.
Now I need to ask some quistions:
1- When I try to add a new query to a table that contains my new data type in its columns,if I try to exexute the query the next message appears:
'Execution of user code in the .Net framework is disabled. Enable "clr enabled" configuration option'.
How can I doing that??
2- I need to use that database - which has the new data type - in a traditional ' Visual C# Windows Application' instead of 'Database', but:
when I try to add a new Data Source that contains the tables that have the new data types in its definitions, the next message appears:
'<AyaDatabase.dbo.MyNewUDTTable>
User-defined types(UDTs)are not supported in the Dataset Designer.'
So, how can I resolve that problem??
please help me.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Implement time interval type in the form of a user defined type in SS2k8r2? Specifically an interval type described in the book Temporal Data and the Relational Model by C. J. Date at all. As an example, an interval is below:
1/4/2006:1/10/2006
which would mean the time period from 1/4 to 1/10.
Is there a way to change the physical mapping of a user defined data type to the physical SQL Server datatype. It seems that once you create them, it is just about impossible to change it.
Thanks,

After testing out the application i write on the local pc. I deploy it to the webserver to test it out. I get this error.
System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The conversion of a char data type to a
datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.
Notes: all pages that have this error either has a repeater or datagrid which load data when page loading.
At first I thought the problem is with the date, but then I can see
that some other pages that has datagrid ( that has a date field) work
just fine.
anyone having this problem before?? hopefully you guys can help.
Thanks,
Use databases a bit, but new to SQL Server. We just want to change a column of existing SQL Server 2005 data from a string data type to one of the UNiCODE data types, such as DT_WSTR or DT.NTEXT (such as one can use for various data mining tasks, etc.). It seems to do this one needs to "the data conversion transformation editor". To use that one has to have a package and a project?
Does any one have a full script or set of steps to do the full set of steps for what should be a simple task? This would be a great example for BOL, but each atomistic bit of BOL refers to another, and one gets lost in the circle when a complete example is needed for fundamantal housekeeping tasks.
Hi,
I can populate a dataTable with type double (C#) of say '1055.01' however when I save these to the CE3.5 database using a float(CE3.5) I lose the decimal portion. The 'offending' code is:
this.court0TableAdapter1.Update(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
this.mycourtsDataSet1.AcceptChanges();
this.court0TableAdapter1.Fill(this.mycourtsDataSet1.Court0);
This did not happen with VS2005/CE3.01.
I have tried changing all references to decimal (or money in CE3.5) without luck.
I'm beginning to think that string may be the way to go!!!!!!!
Can someone shed some light on my problem.
Thanks,
Later:
It's necessary to update the datatable adapter as the 3.01 and 3.5 CE are not compatible.
We have some columns in a table where the date is stored as 19980101 (YYYYMMDD). The data type for this column is NUMBER(8) in Oracle.
I need to copy rows from Oracle to SQL Server using SSIS. I used the Data Conversion transformation editor to change it to DT_DATE, but the rows are not being inserted to the destination.
On Error, If I fail the component, then the error is :
There was an error with input column "ORDER_DATE_CONV" (1191) on input "OLE DB Destination Input" (29). The column status returned was: "Conversion failed because the data value overflowed the specified type.".

Platform: SQL 2000
A SQL table has a field named "pay-day" with Char(8) data type.
I tried to change its data type to datetime but only with an error message like this. I did right-click the table and tried to modify a data type.
- Unable to modify table.
The conversion of a char data type to a datetime data type resulted in an out-of-range datetime value.

Hello.
i have a database with 300 tables. All the data types of the fields of my tables are custom. Ex. IFGint:int and stuff like that.
I want to know how can i through a stored procedure, change in batch mode all the fields of my tables. I don't want to modify by hand everytable. It's a lot of work and i think that maybe there might be a way for this programatically.
thanks in advance
Hello!
Is it possible to use UDT on SQL Server Compact Edition? How can I enable CLR?
Thank you!
A common request for enhancement to applications is to "make thisfield bigger". I know I've been caught with increasing a field size,and then spending hours debugging because another stored proc has avariable or temp table that uses the field defined as the originalvarchar size. SQL Server just truncates to fit the data into thesmaller varchar, and so there are no errors raised.An option suggested by a colleague is to no longer use varchars, butuse User Defined Types instead. To make this work effectively,though, they suggest we would need to make it a rule that we do notuse varchars anywhere except to define user defined types.Though there will be one point of changes I can't help thinking thisisn't a very good idea ! Any thoughts ?Thanks.
View 2 Replies View RelatedINSERT INTO @TESTTAB SELECT * FROM dbo.UTIL_TABLE_FROM_STRING(@szDelimit)
Note....The stored function returns a table.
Why doesn't this work ?:
SET @TESTTAB = (SELECT * FROM dbo.UTIL_TABLE_FROM_STRING(@szDelimit))
I wonder if I need to establish a user-defined table type ?I really just want a pointer to the table, and not to have to create a new copy.
I've got a user defined table type called StringDictionaryTVP:
CREATE TYPE [dbo].[StringDictionaryTVP] AS TABLE(
[key] [varchar](500) NULL,
[value] [varchar](500) NULL
)
Ideally I would like to be able to have a # of columns and directions in this table like so:
DECLARE @OrderByClause StringDictionaryTVP
INSERT INTO @OrderByClause([key], [value])
values('gender','desc')
INSERT INTO @OrderByClause([key], [value])
values('name','asc')
Since our database can be a bit sizable, I'd also like to use Common Table Expressions so I can page through them fairly easy.So my standard cte is something like this:
DECLARE @PageIndex INT = 0
DECLARE @PageSize INT = 20
;WITH results_cte AS ( SELECT U.*, ROW_NUMBER() over ( ORDER BY name ) RowNum
from Users U)
SELECT * FROM results_cte
WHERE RowNum > @Offset AND RowNum <= @Offset + @PageSize
So where 'ORDER BY name' is I'd like to use the @OrderByClause in some sort of dynamic way. I've tried all kinds of stuff but even something like this doesn't get the actual column name I need
;WITH results_cte AS ( SELECT U.*, ROW_NUMBER() over ( ORDER BY (select top 1 [key] +' '+ [value] from @OrderByClause) ) RowNum
from Users U)
I may be chasing the wrong stick, but outside of dynamic sql, is something like this possible?
Is there a syntax to create indexes on user-defined type's fields and methods? Can I index UDT-fields?
I tried but only get syntax error.

Incorrect syntax near '.'.
According to books online (BOL), section User-defined types requirements says
In the SQL Server 2005 RTM version, CLR UDTs with user-defined serialization were allowed to have their fields indexed as part of non-persisted computed columns or views. In such situations, non-deterministic UDT serialization/deserialization could lead to index corruption, and therefore has been removed from SQL Server 2005 SP1. In SQL Server 2005 SP1, UDT fields must use native serialization or be persisted in order to be indexed. Any existing indexes on UDT fields should continue to function as before.
What are BOL trying to say about index on UDT fields?
Thanks for any hints!
